(2008.10.02) Rennie Pilgrem @ Lotus Sound Lounge
 Son of a jazz trumpeter, Rennie started life playing tenor saxophone and sitting with his Father’s various bands around Southern England. Before moving into breaks Rennie produced techno and acid house and was part of the influential rave group Rhythm Section along with Ellis Dee. In 1993 Rennie founded Thursday Club Recordings (TCR) as a medium for putting out his own material. His first few releases were funky house with a smattering of breaks lurking in the background. Recording now as ‘Thursday Club’ he had a big tune with ‘Thursday Theme’ which was chased by Virgin. Rennie Pilgrem is often considered responsible for the creation of the Nu Skool breaks genre. Hearing a thriving breaks scene at its original tempo in 1994 galvanized Rennie into going back to pure breaks. 'A Place Called Acid' (1995) was one of the biggest breakbeat tunes around. He also set up 'Friction' with Adam Freeland, Tayo and Ian Williams which pretty much kick-started the whole 'Nu Skool' scene. He also coined the term 'Nu Skool' along with his fellow Friction partners as a way of describing their music. He's collaborated with many top producers including legend Arthur Baker on 'Like No Other', 'Hey Funky People' and ‘Face It’, BLIM on massive tracks 'Eskimo' and ‘2Freaks’ and with Meat Katie on 'Rubba' and 'Atmosphere'. Following on from the hit ‘Black Widow’, Rennie also decided it was time to go back into the studio with Uberzone and their follow-up ‘Cous Cous’ received support from the likes of everyone from the Plump DJ’s to Pete Tong and Sasha! He continues to DJ all over the world and wow audiences with his dancefloor-friendly funk-infused breaks sets. He is resident at Rome’s premier night, Agatha and runs a hugely successful clubnight, 'Hum', with Meat Katie which takes place in London (the last one had 1400 people pack through the doors!). He is also part of the team responsible for the ‘Breaksday’ concept – so far 3parties have been held, one at WMC in Miami which was one of the most talked about parties of the conference and more recently at The Glade Festivals which were both huge successes. He has been voted ‘Most Valuable/Influential Person’ at The International Breaks Awards four years running and last year also picked up awards for Best Single (2Freaks) and Best Remix (for Emit/Collect which has just been signed to Universal).
